Scores and statistics
The Minnesota Timberwolves are coming to Denver, and center David Harrison will be with them.
A source said Wednesday that Harrison, a former University of Colorado star, will sign with the Timberwolves (it’s for one year and nonguaranteed). But Harrison, a free agent who played the past four seasons with Indiana, won’t play in Friday’s preseason game against the Nuggets at the Pepsi Center.
The source said Harrison will meet the Timberwolves in Denver. Harrison worked out two weeks ago with the team.
Harrison has career averages of 5.0 points and 2.9 rebounds. He averaged 4.2 points and 2.1 rebounds last season before the Pacers elected not to re-sign him.
Harrison’s NBA career has been marked by some off-the-court difficulties, including a five-game suspension last season for violating the NBA’s anti-drug policy. When strong NBA offers did not come Harrison’s way during the summer, he pondered playing this season overseas.
